Excellent strong and sturdy cot bed, reasonably easy to build- in comparison to a Mothercare one we had previously this was so easy! A lot less pieces and screws. The only small issue we found is the brackets you put in to hold the base at the different heights were abit tricky (maybe they were slightly bent) so to get the final corner of the base to sit into it took abit of perseverance. But we got there! I haven’t noticed much superficial damage- although it wouldn’t take much to chip the paint. But for value for money I would say it’s really good and it looks lovely!
